Coupe du Monde Finals Competition Japan.....

Here's the new subscription from Gateau magazine Japan. It features the competition results for which competitors will go to the next Coupe du Monde France in 2009. Again, clearly at the national level there is a big difference in the level of competition that exists in Japan and that of the US. With 30 entrants all highly skilled in sugar and chocolate with entrants for the ice sculpting division, and having decided the final three, Japan has assembled a formidable team for the next Coupe Du Monde! The US chooses from 7 entrants in their national competition. From the moment one graduates from a patisserie school in Japan and enters the work force, many thousands of hours are donated from ones free time are donated to perfecting their skill and their result is astonishing. Unfortunately, my pictures does not do them justice.
